to bad the color didn't work out, could have been a contender

Beautiful color combination, the orange moon and purple sky.

I wish the moon was in focus though.

Also, I'm kinda bugged by the halo effect. Against a cross, I guess I can see it acting as an artistic element. But honestly, I think the halo kind of takes over and makes this image all about the special effects instead of about the subject.

Great concept and great colors though.

How did you get the light around the tree and cross?

I like your idea and concept here but I wish you could have eliminated the tree somehow...I call it step photography...but then maybe it was impossible. The tree just takes away from the picture IMO...I really like the cross with the moon...that is really good

This is a good shot but would be great without the tree in the way.
How did you get that halo?

Your moon looks very fuzzy and almost like it doesn't belong? kinda cut-n-pasteish

I really like this, but I think the halo around the church and tree really throw it off. If this were advanced editing you could probably use the clone tool (set to Darken, instead of Normal) to remove that...

The halo-ing is off-putting and detracts from the photo.
